dallas cowboys football club November 18, 1981 President Ronald Reagan The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President: I have learned that we have more in common than our backgrounds as outstanding college football players. According to a newspaper story someone brought to my attention, your lucky number is 33, the one you wore as a college football player. Maybe it's just coincidence, but I have been named team captain and I'm having the best rushing year of my career during your first year in the White House. I'd like to think it has something to do with our lucky 33. Therefore, in an effort to strengthen the power of our 33 and guide us to even greater achievements, I would like to present you with my Dallas Cowboys No. 33 game jersey. On behalf of the entire Dallas Cowboys organization, I wish you all the good health and success that life can bring. Sincerely, TD:jm 6116 N. Central Expressway Dallas, Texas 75206 Area Code 214/ 369-3211 (Executive Offices Area Code 214/ 369-8000)
